Dominican Republic Charter Itinerary

Dominican Republic Itinerary

Dominican Republic Yacht Charter
A week along the coast of the Dominican Republic, from the oldest European city in the Americas to the whale-rich waters of the Samana Peninsula. This is a lush, warm and varied voyage, colonial history and national-park islands, palm-lined beaches and one of the great wildlife gatherings on earth. Expect UNESCO old towns and Bacardi islands, humpback whales and powder-white sand, a rich Caribbean cruise.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
